Earthquake - We're Fine
Hello friends. We're having a shaky afternoon. A 5.4 earthquake struck about 20-25 miles from our house just over an hour ago. Since the main quake, there have been 32 aftershocks. We only felt the original quake. Jeff works very close to the epi-center & felt the quake quite strongly, but he is fine. We didn't feel the shaking very hard at our house. Nothing fell off of our shelves. My shampoo bottles that balance precariously on the top of our glass shower enclosure didn't even fall. If you want to see our earthquake activity, go to the USGS link on the lower left-hand side of this page. Have a great day everybody!

Peanut Butter Love
Tyler has recently developed a habit of sneaking into the pantry & eating peanut butter straight out of the jar! Tonight I could smell the peanut butter on his breath, so I asked him if he'd been eating peanut butter. Here's how the remainder of the conversation went:
Tyler: Yes, I ate peanut butter.
Me: You know you're not supposed to be doing that. I don't want your fingers in the jar - it puts your germs in the peanut butter.
Tyler: I didn't put my fingers in, I got a spoon.
Me: (Giving the mom look) A spoon huh...
Tyler: (Pause while batting eyelashes & smiling) I LOVE you Mommy (short pause) and I love peanut butter!
I know he was just trying to stay out of trouble. But, how could I be mad at that. I just had to laugh and give Tyler a great big hug. It was just too cute. Now, here's what I wonder. . . which does he love more, the peanut butter or me?
As an added note, Tyler's new found love of peanut butter reminds me of Kristin. I can totally picture her dipping Hershey Bars straight into her jar of peanut butter . I tried it a few times & it's actually quite tasty! Does anybody else have creative ways to eat peanut butter? I like to dip my apples in peanut butter. Yummy!

Alexis is Here
Well, Heather was the first to break the trend. Nearly a week late, Alexis Mae Cluff made her entry to the world. She was born at 11:14 pm on Monday, June 30. She was 19 inches long & 5 pounds 4 ounces. She's a tiny little girl! My mom bought her some premie clothes to wear until she gets big enough for the newborn sizes! Since she was born on June 30, she gets to share her birthday with Amanda & her Uncle Jeff. Three people in our family sharing the same birthday, isn't that pretty incredible? I wonder if there will be a triple shared birthday on January 9th too.
I really wish I could be in Utah to see Alexis! She is so beautiful in the pictures Heather sent. I think she definitely looks like our side of the family, sorry Nathan. I would love to post a picture, but I prefer to keep pictures of my family members password protected on Kodak Gallery. If you'd like to see the pictures, let me know & I can send you a link to the online photo album. Have a wonderful day everybody!
